Moving Between Body And Sound

A gentle, trauma-sensitive meditation exploring the movement of attention between physical sensations and sounds in the surrounding environment.
The practice invites awareness of a neutral body sensation, such as the feet against the floor or the hands resting, before shifting attention toward a nearby or distant sound.
Attention moves between body and sound at its own pace, without needing to deepen either experience or remain with anything uncomfortable.
If one anchor becomes difficult, there is freedom to spend more time with the other, widen attention toward the room, or stop the practice altogether.
A quiet exploration of sensory awareness and flexibility, noticing that attention can shift, widen, and return without being held in one place.
The practice closes by including the body, sounds, and surroundings in a wider field of awareness, without needing to organize or change anything.

Welcome. You might notice one physical sensation. Maybe your feet against the floor. Maybe your hands. It may be the chair beneath you. Choose something neutral enough. Stay with it for just a moment. Then listen for a sound. It might be close. It might be far away. Notice it. Then return to your physical sensation. And back to the sound. You can move between them at your own pace. There is no need to deepen either experience. If one becomes uncomfortable. Spend more time with the other. You can also stop the practice entirely. For now. Notice the body. Then the sound. Bye. Sound. Body. Sound. Perhaps notice that your attention doesn't have to be trapped in one place. It can shift. It can widen. It can move outwards. And it can return. Now choose the experience that feels most neutral. Stay with it briefly. Then include the room around you. The sounds. The object. Your body. Let everything be part of the field of awareness. Without needing to organize it. And when you are ready, Let your attention go wherever it naturally wants to go next. Thank you for being here.
